Razor Crazy Cart.

Son wanted a Crazy Cart and saved up some his $$ to get it! Initial thoughts, this thing is huge and where am I gonna store it in the garage? He loves it and is getting more comfortable controlling it and drifting. No brakes! So that’s a little tricky, but doable with some planning. Enjoy little bro!

Mods so far:

  • Reflective tape on front and back 
  • Blinking led on safety flag 
  • 1/2 inch thick neoprene on seat backing for comfort

AO Rexy 911 GT3.

Smile!



Some Added Engine Detail With Left Over Pieces!
Door Handle Mod.

New Lego 911 GT3 set turned out to be a fun build with attractive results! Typically, I’m not a fan of Technic builds due to difficulty of attaching all the tiny pieces. Finger pain! 😝 However, I pushed through and glad I did. Good looking model and neat gimmicks. Hood opens, doors open, functional steering, functional shocks, six pistons on boxer engine layout work, rear differential, and built in jack points to name a few. Lots of stickers which added to the build time, but really was needed to do Rexy justice. Apparently the pink version, Roxy, is in the Lego pipeline!

Pop Race Supra.


What an interesting brand of diecast cars. Reasonable price, good quality and nice detail. Even some have gimmicks like an opening hood! Not sure if this maker is licensed, but they are sure a nice addition to the collection!

Carver.


Black Friday sale in Carver on Surf Skate boards. Decided to give it a shot. Really well crafted and love the design. Will try it out once the rain stops! Hope to get the kids involved too!


Update: tried it out on an unusually nice day. What a blast! Major work out on the thighs, felt the burn! A unique feeling to not have to push like traditional skateboards. Enjoyed the simulation of surfing. Great purchase at $140.

New Interior Detailing Gear.

Gentle Scrub-a-Dub.


Dilute With Water 1:10.

First time using this technique to clean the interior surfaces. Sprayed diluted solution on any surface and gently agitate with nylon brush. Wipe dry with microfiber towel. Amazing results with little effort. My favorite combination. Once cleaned, surfaces should be covered with a protectant of choice. Therapeutic work! 😂

A Gaggle of 911’s?


The 911 collection is growing quite nicely. And this is not including the 911’s mounted on base plates. 😂

Tarmac Porsches.


New acquisition of three Tarmac Porsches. Have to say, the quality and finish of these models is top notch. Fun color combination!

Viofo A119 Mini 2 Install.



Installed the dash cam! Not so bad as far as difficulty. First, installed the micro SD card into the dash cam. Then cleaned inside of window before applying clear window film. Found a reasonable location and double stick taped the dash cam in place. Ran wires along the window seams. Originally ran it down A pilar, but found that it was overlapping airbag, so ran it a different route. Unfortunately, could not hide wire along the bottom portion of the pilar and dash, so hid it along the crevice as best as possible. Powered by cigarette 12v outlet, so no parking mode for now. Due to dash cam being placed to the right of rear view mirror, the video is always skewed a bit to the right. Overall, fairly satisfied. Inconspicuous enougnto be ignored while driving.

Big Island and Maui.

 Exploring Hilo Side.
Maui Sunset.
Honu!




Honu in the Surf.

Two weeks in Hawaii was very relaxing! Hilo was by far my favorite. Chill vibe, minimal traffic, and nearly everything was within 15 minutes drive! Was there during the tsunami warning, but luckily no issues. Whew! Spent some quality time swimming with the kiddos and even had time to read a book! Would have been even more fun if the wife had more time off from work to explore and relax with us. Maui was interesting as well. Lots of good eats (Da Kitchen = favorite) and some nice beaches. Had lots of saimin and shave ice! Da good life.
